Their sister station got a seamless backdrop too. [MEDIA=instagram]BjGHxb3ASQw[/MEDIA] It replaces a 5x2video wall.

KXAS got a new seamless LED video wall. Appears to be opposite the weather center and will be used for weather and traffic in the mornings. If I’m not mistaken when they installed the one behind the anchor desk they moved it into a similar position? https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1686492588098590 Posting this here as it’s not worth a thread.

Jason Guy - WESH’s news anchor and former Big Brother contestant had vocal cord surgery. He had a growth on the right vocal cord causing hoarseness. They believe it’s nothing harmful but they will biopsy it anyway. [MEDIA=instagram]BjGDNkMhgEk[/MEDIA]

Care to elaborate?

KOCO got a newer helicopter (built 2004). [MEDIA=twitter]996519437032443906[/MEDIA]

I just realized that WMAR 2’s rebranding may be related to WBAL and WJZ now using their call signs prominently. WJZ always used their calls during the Eyewitness News era when tagging out but now it’s just WJZ News. Similarly WBAL tags out “WBAL-TV 11”. Additionally they all now brand their weather as “Callsign Weather”.

I don’t follow Kansas City news that much.

So last place?

Since we are speculation posting I’d to see WBAL duopoly with WMAR. I think theyre eligible to be purchased rating wise. Hearst has experience with a pseudo NBC/ABC duopoly in KSBW.

Bumping this thread because starting next week Jeff Glor will anchor the 5PM show on CBS Radio. Found out via a post on his Instagram.

Supposedly one tower worker was killed. The station was part of phase 1of the spectrum repack.

I would like to see a comparison of political ad buys on a local non primetime level. Would a local newscast have the same number of political ads as syndicated fair?

Thanks. I was curious as I don’t think I’ve ever really seen the actual area from where the picture was taken. It looks like that area was also cannibalized as a work space as well. From what I’ve seen some of the Telemundo 62 Weather prep work goes on down there as well.

Does the actual weather set ever make it on air? Because it looks like a hot mess (a term I don’t really use) [MEDIA=twitter]976562311275143168[/MEDIA] Also if I was working at the desk in front of that little PTZ camera it would have paper taped over it. I know people are in the TV business to be scene but I don’t need any to see me working up close.

That’s look A?

KCBS/KCAL anchor/reporter Andrea Fujii is leaving the duopoly and heading east to be with her husband Whit. [MEDIA=instagram]Bg4qP-MgsgK[/MEDIA] Also, today was Eric Harrymans last day at WTVJ he’s heading west. His IG that his coanchor linked to mentioned KTXL Fox 40 anchor in Sacramento.

I think they are also setting up the heir apparent for Stan as well. He’s probably the same age or older as Donna but may stick around. They are definitely grooming Andre for his spot as he anchors the 5:30pm with Donna and is the primary fill in. I believe there have been more newscasts with Debra/Andre in the past two months than I have fingers/toes on the primary channel. I know some mentioned Mindy as Donna’s replacement but I don’t think they want to mess with the morning show. I believe they win most half hours except for one. Also at this point I think Jason and Mindy are a paired duo. Yet despite the changes they remained dominant.

Donna Hamilton’s been off the either all or part of last week and so far this week. Deborah Weiner has been the only one filling in. I think it may be safe to say she’s the heir apparent. You also could say she deserves it - she did weekends, now does the 10 PM, was the main anchor WBFF for five years (her bio lists starting their 1997 and joining WBAL in 2002, and has been with them for 16 years. Also despite WJZ loosing baseball to MASN they are still doing a one hour opening day special starting at 12:30 pm. The games are still on WJZ-FM 105.7.

Maybe they made the price exhorbanant to keep it all in house. The Nationals are now MASN only as well. Edit: Sounds like the decision was made by MASN. And we have a quote from our Helvetica Chief KC. http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/z-on-tv-blog/bs-fe-zontv-orioles-masn-wjz-20180327-story.html

I think the questions are also must runs.

One interesting case was WNBC pulled recently (and several times) WRC’s helicopter reporter.

Worth noting that despite the brand new Telemundo Center Headquarters the NBC Network Bureau will remain in their current location. They are in some non descript office building.

Oh my god. I didn't read the article about the incident. I thought this went off into random territory.

I prefer Bubba Kegs. They stay cool or hot very long. Frequently ice will last over 24 hours.

It makes sense and I was wondering why he wasn’t included in the recent Super Bowl promo with the full anchor team. And explains the anchor/reporter opening.
